Hiss at very low volumes
Dan- I wouldn't worry about it at all, most all tube amps hum when music is not coming through them and LP's forget it even a great Turntable and new LP will hiss. Which isn't a bad thing just the way it is. I realize you don't have an analog fron... 
New or used amp?
Couldn't have said it better myself Karls, I think the biggest factor out of the two would be what you are trying to power, but I would rec. the BAT over the Bryston, just my personal preference. 
CD Player for around 3500?
If anyone will sell ther DP-75v for $3500(highly unlikely) I would buy it, but reality is those are closer to $7000 used, retail is $11k so its still a fair price. If you could find a used audio aero that would be your best choice in that price ra...

Kelly-You sick bastard, that was you at that swingers party, man you can't get away from these audiophiles anywhere! I thought I saw some dude there with a beard jamming out wearing a pair of sennheiser's thought he looked famaliar. I was the one ...

BMG Music Club - new twist
Eric- I have been using them for years, its cheap if you become a member, typically CD's cost me under $7 ea. shipped to my door. Just take advantage of the good deals and pass up on the poor ones. Right now they have unlimited CD's $7.99 shipped,... 
Have you ever been stuck?
Kelly- You have never seen American Pie(the original or the second-movie), it may seem a little juvenile(the movie). But if you have viewed either of those movies not only would my statement make sense but it would be funny! I am of the age where ... 
Audio stores going out of business?
Brutusdial-Good point, I must say a very high percentage of my business is repeat customer's, and they rely on my expertice(scary thought! :) to guide them in the right direction. And me labeling all dealers as the scum of the Earth would be the s... 
Have you ever been stuck?

PS Audio Power Port vs. Hubbell/Leviton
I work for Nokian tyres they are the best, everything else sucks, if you use anything besides Nokians your an idiot and wasting your money. There is no other possibilities but what I say for I am the all mighty. I figured Sagger offered his help I... 
Best source of lead shot?
From the business end of a Mossberg 500! Check your local shooting supply store, they should have it, Dick's would as well. Get smallish shot, typically the higher the number the smaller the shot, #8 or better would be my recomendation, thus occup... 
Audio stores going out of business?
Well there are no high end dealers up in my neck of the woods, no one sells any of the components I use in more then 250 miles! The so-called high end shop won't even talk to me no more, because as stated above there all about money, and I won't b... 
Do you drink when you listen?
Jim-roflmao!!Dave- 11 years ago I was 9, spooky! And I fancied fuzzy naval's like most things my tastes have changed over the years! 
Which CDs to test a component?
cfb-Your intrest in Kid a surprises me, I found it to be way to confusing, perhaps I don't have the cerebral capacity to compute it. Any way enjoy it :)Everyone-Thanks for some new suggestions!!! keep 'em coming!
